    Mate, you can grind a fair bit more off if they kydex to shape it a tad more, then if you take a buffing wheel and run the kydex edge on it it smooths it out and slightly melts the ends to make it smooth.
    Then if you add a back piece as a spacer then the tec-loc can be mounted on both sides. Don’t be afraid to use more kydex as spacers etc.

    That knife is very cool.
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    I liked the light weight and toughness of the svord... But it was clunky, the handle was bigger than needed, and the top wasn't that usable for me...

    So reshaped the tip, thinned down the grind a little and changed the handle to suit.
    Rough as guts (but it was done with only another knife and sandpaper...)

    Cheers Shelly. I do need to work out a back spacer 'bracket' for the tec-loc as the engineer in me doesn't like the two screw mount, yet lots on the net are done this way. Mate was going hunting and wanted it for the weekend so I did a quick and easy.
